ECOLOGY

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Sudden Swoop (Ex) If a rhamphorhynchus makes a charge attack while flying, it does not provoke attacks of opportunity when it enters an opponent’s space to make a melee attack. It also gains a +2 bonus on damage rolls with its bite attack when it makes a sudden swoop.
Distraction (Ex): Any living creature vulnerable to the creature swarm’s damage that begins its turn with a creature swarm in its square is nauseated for 1 round. A Fortitude saving throw (DC 10) negates the effect. Even with a successful save, spellcasting or concentrating on spells within the area of a creature swarm requires a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level). Using skills requiring patience and concentration requires a Will save (DC 20).
NOTE: The rhamphorhynchus swarm's cr may be off considering its AC.

The lexovisaurus is a small ill-tempered, plant-eating dinosaur closely related to the stegosaurus. Instead of plates down its back, it has spikes that project out from its back. Its head is also spiked and it is the head spikes that the lexovisaurus uses to attack, slashing and ripping with their wicked edges and points.
A full grown lexovisaurus weighs 200 lbs and is about 4-5 feet long. Some savage tribes have tamed lexoviasaurus and used them as guard beasts.
NOTE: This is my version of the lexovisarus. On our earth, in reality, the lexovisaurus lived in the woodlands of western Europe in the late Jurassic (160 million years ago). They averaged about 15 feet long and weighed in at about a half-ton. They were one of the first of the stegosauri to walk the earth.

Description
Small incredibly fast raptors, cynosaurus (dog lizard) is a insectivore, though pacts of cynosaurs have hunted together much like a dog pack would. They tend to dart in, relying on their speed to attack.
When alone, a cynosaur typically avoids contact with anything bigger than it unless it is rapid (see below). Only cynosaurs encounter in the wild are ever rabid.
The red cynosaurs hunts in rocky regions using their reddish-brown color to blend into the rock when possible. Other cynosaurs, like the green cynosaur (encountered in forest realms, the white cynosaur (in the tundra), and the black cynosaur (underground) do the same thing in their environments.
